For many years, people have argued which common pet is the better companion: dogs or cats. Today, we’re going to settle the score once and for all. Will the cats’ devious eyes and razor sharp claws win the fight? Or will it be the dogs’ quick speed and fierce teeth?

Which do you like better, cats or dogs, and why?

Dogs 🐕8th grader Monica Rodriguez says, “I like dogs more than cats because they are more playful and loyal. Cats are boring and sleep most of the day. Also, they’re ugly.”

Cats🐱7th grader Evelyn McCready says, “I like cats because they’re soft and feel like stuffed animals. They’re also quiet. I don’t like loud animals… The fact that they purr when you pet them is really soothing.”
